Change notification for Messaging App

[Sagar]

Hi,

My Xperia X is running Android 8.0. Earlier we used to be able to chnage notification tone for the default messaging app. But now I am unable to do so. 

Anyone knows how to do this with updated OS?

You should be able to. Tap the 3 dots, notifications, sound. From there, you should get the sound picker and possibility to choose another.

Hi @Sagar,

This has been changed a bit in Android 8.0, so you will need to go to, Settings > Apps & notifications > App info > Messaging > App notifications. Here you should have an option called "Messages", tap that one and tap "Sound" and choose a sound that you like!

Let me know if that helps!

Thanka Alexdon, Jonas. I am able to change the notification tone now with your suggestions.

@Sagar@Jonas perfect!

@Sagar, awesome news!

I understand that it's quite confusing when you can't do it directly from the settings menu of the application, but everything related to notification is a lot more customizable in Android 8, which is awesome!

Have a great weekend!
